I did everyone's loyalty mission to the point and and I was able to use the charm reply to prevent Tali from getting exiled. Died anyway. Don't know how or why. Only happened once too.

Who died and where?

Certain people can't perform certain tasks. For instance, I tried to use Mordin as the vent runner my first time through, he received cranial ventilation.

I took two people with me (it was Miranda and I think either Garrus or Jacob), sent Mordin back to the ship with the survivors and sent everyone else to go fight stuff at the final section of the final mission. Tali didn't make it back. I don't know why. So I reloaded a save, sent Tali back to the ship, kept Mordin and Thane with me and left the rest to fight stuff.

Doesn't matter now though, that game was lost. Some time in late December/early January, I'll marathon Mass Effect 1 & 2 in preparation for Mass Effect 3.

Sex variation on the internet is always great, but what has your gender to do with that? Anyway, who here have already pre-ordered their copy? (Collector's edition anyone?) Sadly, I haven't .

i have pre-ordred the collectors edition

[Human No More]

I haven't yet... Need money.
What's in the collector's edition?

Edit: Apparently, ME3 is going to need Origin... this is a disaster, there is no way I am letting that rubbish onto my computers . Origin is spyware, no more, no less. I guess this is what happens when people trust EA...

I'm thinking about just creating a partition or using an old hdd so I can install windows + Origin with nothing else on it. At least that way it'll be kept separate from everything else.


Shame that it won't be a steam download

I'm not going to give EA any money. They've had too many chances, and customers shouldn't have to workaround malware in order to play a game they have purchased.

I love videogames in general, especially RPGs...Mass Effect is a sci-fi game, first of all (I love the gender)...more it has a wonderful story, it's so emotional, i'm so involved now, and i want to know how it ends...it's an entire universe (just as Avatar is!) and it's absolutely well done, the story, the characters, the MUSIC!! Nowadays it is difficult to find a game like this..

Ahah oh my God, I'm sorry, I don't speak english very well...maybe i didn't get what you meant

[Human No More]

The meaning was that you shouldn't have to say 'I love it and I'm a girl'; because female gamers aren't as rare as they are stereotyped as being. Of course, it's great to be proud of being one

Ooh, thank you human no more, I really didn't get it yeah, i'm realizing how many female gamers there are in the world...but i referred more to the genre of the game (maybe the sci-fi is not often a female interest) than to the fact that a girl can love videogames, in general

Finally finished ME1 and ME2. Ready for ME3. Sadly, I forgot to do the bring de sky DLC as the Galactic News in ME2 had to constantly remind me. I didn't do the ME2 DLC's yet though. I should remember to do that.

It took me a couple of tries because the reaper IFF kept going off too early.

First time I found legion too early and it the reaper IFF went off before I could finish the loyalty missions. So I went to a save 5 hours earlier, did all of the loyalty missions, listened to Liara's passive aggressive ME2 attitude, found Legion and before I could even activate him, the IFF went off AGAIN. So I went back and for some reason despite going back only 5 minutes, it allowed me to activate Legion AND do his loyalty mission. I didn't have enough resources to activate all of the research I had, but I decided close enough and went and destroyed the collector base.

And since I sent Tali back with the gallant crew, everyone survived first try through the Omega 4 relay. Even the crew.

Even though I own it, I still never activated Zaeed's DLC. Simple reason that having seen the gameplay and cutscenes involving Zaeed on youtube, he'd get left on that planet.

Someone I don't hear about very much and had apparently forgotten myself is how much better the autosave function is in ME2 than ME1. In ME1, when I died, I'd end up back at the start of the mission, so I had to save my game over 200 times. In ME2, I'd be surprised if I saved even 80 times because if I died, it sent me back maybe a minute or two behind where I was when I died.
